Someone was trespassing. Zach felt it first thing in the morning. He sat up quickly from where he was lying on the bed beside Anna. His nose instinctively sniffed the atmosphere and he smelt the scent of danger. The smell of evil and mischief that sent his blood boiling and his eyes darkening. Rogues. In a blink of an eye, he was already rushing towards the door, mind-linking his men to gather at the borders of the land. Before getting out that door, however, he looked back at Anna and buried the image of her peaceful sleep in his mind. He wouldn't risk putting her in danger. He promised Lola. And he never breaks his own promises. Determined to protect her no matter what, he hurried out of the mansion and shifted to his wolf form. He was a big black wolf that even in himself he knew he was intimidating and terrifying to look at. Wolves and people would shrink and cringe back from his beastly large size. No wonder A

Zach was inside his office when he smelled the delicious aroma of food. That morning, Anna had practically convinced him to let her cook lunch and prepare dessert even though he had told her he was full and that he could always ask for the cooks to prepare any food she desires. Scrunching his nose, he stood from his seat and went out of his office towards the kitchen. The sweet aroma grew stronger to his senses as he drew nearer. Once he had entered the kitchen room, he was dumbstruck. Speechless, even. Wearing his large shirt that reached her mid thighs, revealing her flushed bare legs and bare feet, she stood behind the kitchen counter with her back turned to him. Her dark hair was fixed in a fishtail, braided strands trailing down her one shoulder. Her scent mixed with the delicious scent of food and just that made him want to eat her out. As the smell clouded his eyes and nose, he walked towards her until he st

It was past midnight. The moon shone high above and the stars scattered the sky. He shifted to his human form wearing his basketball shorts and came out from the shadows of the trees. In front of him was a vast mansion. For days, she was forbidden to leave this place. Forbidden to leave the borders of the land. Forbidden to see him. His heart was aching. Aching for her. Without her, his heart was broken to pieces and she was the stitches. He looked up. The scent was coming from the balcony at the second floor. He climbed up the fence and sneaked inside the room. Her sweet scent quickly flooded his nostrils. Despite the darkness, his dilated eyes could see clearly across the room. She was sound asleep upon her bed. Dead to the world. He took long strides and neared the beautiful girl whom he had been aching for. Each step closer was a second closer to home. It was homesickness that surged thro

The next morning she woke up to the sunlight streaming through her open balcony. For somehow, it reminded her of last night and just that intensified the longing that she felt in her heart. The part that was always aching for him. For his touch. For his lips. With a sigh and a light shake of her head, she sat up from the bed and looked around her room in wonder. Everything had changed. It seemed she had always been dependent upon her Grandmother that now she found it hard to be on her own. Everything was different then. She wasn't who she was before and now every moment of everyday in this mansion always brought her back to the memory of home. Life had never felt so lonely and she had never felt so lost and homeless. It was no one's fault, she kept telling herself, and still she

"Oh, my God." Without second thoughts, she rose up from the bed and her book fell as she quickly ran to him. Smiling brightly, she took the little kitten from him and hugged it in her arms. Pulling back, she kissed its head lovingly then placed it on her bed, watching as it laid down upon the sheets comfortably. Turning around, she quickly hugged Jake, oblivious to the way he stiffened and instantly relaxed. His arms came around her as he hugged her back, slightly tightening his hold. "Thank you so much," she murmured to his chest and she meant it from the bottom of her heart. Pulling back, she gazed up at him and smiled. "So why are you here?" "Business," he answered simply. "Then I thought I could come and say hello, see if you're fine, and bring back your cat..Found her lost somewhere." Anna smiled wider. "Jake, I think I'm getting better and b
